The Firs is an independent primary school for boys and girls aged 3-11. We are characterised by a happy and stable family atmosphere. Whilst having a strong Christian ethos The Firs is supportive of children from all faiths and none. Among the school’s other acknowledged strengths are:

Excellent quality of teaching with specialist teachers for religious education, English as an additional language, sport, pottery, music and drama.

An integrated approach to supporting children with dyslexia and other educational needs.

Provision of early morning, after school care and holiday clubs.

Fantastic sporting results, both inter-school and through the Independent Schools Association, regional and national competitions.

Opportunities for all children to participate in a wide range of extra curricular activities.

Excellent facilities for Art, Music, Drama, ICT, Sport, and play.

Finally we aim to be a caring community in which all children are appreciated and helped to see that everyone has a special value and that they can gain great fulfilment by contributing to the wellbeing of others.

I have seen my child grow and develop under the tutelage of The Firs School. There is a friendly, open, and nurturing environment which allows overall development of the young child – Parent
